Cinnamon (f220) IgE details
What Cinnamon (f220) IgE shows
Cinnamon is a spice made from tree bark, used in baking, desserts, drinks, curries and spice blends, and as a flavouring in toothpaste and chewing gum. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to cinnamon proteins to check for allergic sensitization. It can help when you notice mouth itching, hives, swelling or other symptoms after foods or products containing cinnamon. A positive result shows that your immune system has made IgE to cinnamon. Some reactions to cinnamon are irritant or contact reactions rather than IgE-mediated allergy, which this test does not detect. IgE shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so the result needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
